Halo movie plans confirmed

According to Variety, Microsoft’s hit X-box game Halo will see a movie adaptation in 2007. The rights to the film were up for grabs for some time, and Fox and Universal finally took the bait jointly. Now, while I’m a big Bungie fan, I’m still a bit gunshy after the Dungeons & Dragons movie. Here’s to hoping the movie studios put someone at the helm that has at least half a clue.

Microsoft had Alex Garland, novelist and screenwriter of 28 Days Later and The Beach, do the screenplay as part of a package deal they took to studios. The article claims that Garland is still on the project, so I’m not too worried about this one. It might not be the movie we dream of, but it won’t be D&D.

Uwe Boll, on the other hand, needs to have his typing fingers amputated.
